Pali Gap, by Jimi Hendrix, George Mazzola Guitar,1979

George Mazzola Guitar Tony Schittina, Bass Ken Geringer, Drums Pali Gap by Jimi Hendrix, recorded 1979 Our rendition of Pali Gap by Jimi Hendrix was one of my first jams with George Mazzola, guitar and Tony Schittina on bass. I was drumming my way around the Haulover Beach North Miami music scene in 1978 until the day George walked into my house and pulled out his Stratocaster. My friends back home in Rockland County, New York had started to outgrow Hendrix, but in Miami he was still raging on the southern jam circuit. What was lost in NY was rediscovered in Miami with the amazing George Mazzola on Guitar, Jimi Hendrix now 'lived on,' in our lives. This recording was taken from a 43 year old cassette tape, parts of the recording had deteriorated and had to be edited out, what was an 11 minute basement jam is now close to 5 minutes. George Mazzola 10/02/57----09/26/07 On Sept. 26, 2007, South Florida guitar virtuoso George Mazzola lost his battle with cancer.
